Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:54:23 -0500

IMS opens up new perspectives for network operators. Nevertheless, some challenges need to be faced to make it a widely adopted technology.

Why IMS??

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:51:15 -0500

One aim of IMS is to make the network management easier, because an all-IP integrated network is easier to manage and leads to network administration savings. Therefore, it separates control and bearer functions to support kinds of networks and become “access agnostic” or in other words, service delivery should be independent of the underlying access technology.

European renaissance -Art-

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:02:27 -0500

If the European renaissance was a cultural movement that marked drastic changes during the Middle ages, Art is an area that was completely revolutionized. Artists incorporated perspective, using oil based paints they concentrated on light and shadow effect. We can notice the touch of ancient art on the work of some renaissance artists like Donatello, but the introduction of personality and behavior in the oeuvres was a new aspects. An aspect that was later developed by other artists like Da Vinci and MichelAngelo: the emotional expression and the physical balance.
Sculpture, painting and architecture revolution started in Italy but moved towards France, Spain and then the rest of Europe. They were the first cultural changes that broke up with the Church traditions, and by focusing on Man they empowered people, gave them back confidence and help a social break-up.
